154 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. M ay 23. 18J N e x t , perhaps, t o the batsman himself Hayward the Surrey Cricketer has per­ haps the most substantial reason for remembering K. S. Ranjitsinhji’s suc­ cessful introduction to Sussex cricket. Hayward had been bowling to the Indian Prince up at Cambridge early in the season, and, indeed, has taken an active part in his practice during a great part of his residence at the University. As a mark of his appreciation Ranjitsinhji promised the Surrey player a diamond ring when he got his first hundred in an important match. Hayward had not long to wait, it need hardly be added, in fact the first innings the Cantab played was his 150 for Sussex v. M.C.C. and Ground, at Lords. T h e testimonial to George Giffen, so I learn from a well-informed correspondent in Australia, has not been anything like the success that was anticipated. As a matter of fact, only a little over £300 has been subscribed, and that mostly by a few persons in large sums. This scant recognition of the brilliant work Giffen has done, not only for Australian cricket, but to advertise Australia, does not reflect particularly well on the gratitude of the public “ down under.” On the other hand it is only fair to say —and there may be some significance in the difference in results—that the testimonial got up by the East Melbourne C.C. in appreciation of A. E. Trott’s fine performances with bat and ball against Mr. Stoddart’s team met with a very hearty response. The presentation took the form of what Mr. Digby Grand, in the Two Roses , was wont to call “ a leetle cheque.” An interesting feature of the function was that three generations of Trotts witnessed the proceedings. The third was repre­ sented by the little son of G. H. S., otherwise Harry Trott. T h e success of the dinner got up by the Hampstead C.C. as a welcome home to its most distinguished member, which his name is Stoddart, was only a proper reward for the excellence of the arrange­ ments by the sub-committee, with Gregor McGregor at their head. There was a heartiness and spontaniety about the proceedings, which those who were present are not likely to forget. As one who partook of the hospitality of the Hampstead Club on that memorable occasion, I should like to offer my best thanks. If only for the enthusiastic reception given to Stoddart, as well as to W.G., there was enough to make the oldest cricketer aglow. T h e hope expressed so feelingly by A. E. Stoddart, that the Counties would view with approval the suggestion from Australia to send another team “ home ” in 1896, will, I am sure, find a responsive echo, not only with the Clubs concerned, but with the public generally as well. The hearty reception given to the English team during the winter would of itself entitle the proposal to every consideration. But apart from that the last Australian season showed such a lot of young cricketers coming on, in A. E. Trctt, Iredale, Darling, C. Hill and others, that a team of all the talents coming over here with such an infusion of new blood would be sure to be attractive. Another thing is that, under the joint auspices of the Melbourne C.C. and the Sydney trustees, the trip would have the official imprimatur which cricketers rightly regard as a necessary guarantee of good faith and proper management. got the runs with about six minutes and eigfif wickets to spare. Score and analysis :— YORKSHIRE v. WARWICKSHIRE. The weather and the players alike seemed dull and lifeless in the opening day’s play at Bradford on Monday. The home team was about full strength but Warwickshire lacked L. C. Docker, J. E. Hill, and Shilton. The visitors score of 198 was principally due to Law whose 89 was almost faultless. Lilley and Glover hit hard and Santall stayed a long time for his 17. Law hit nine 4’ s, six 3’s, and three 2’s. ' The innings altogether occupied three hours and three quarters. The Yorkshiremen made a very bad start, Jackson and.Tunnicliffe both falling ■victims to Lilley off Santall in one over with the score at 13. Charlesworth escaping two chances in the field, with Brown hit away freely and put on 78 before the end of the day’s play. The next morning saw one run only added before Lilley and Santall accounted for Charlesworth. The same pair disposed of Brown for a well played 44 soon after the hundred was hoisted, the first four wickets thus falling to the same bowler by means of the wicket-keeper, a curious coincidence. At lunch time six wickets had fallen for 153 runs, but once again the sting of the Yorkshire team was in its tail. Lord Hawke and Moorhouse were together after lunch and in fifty minutes added 85, the professional then being out for a brilliant 74 made without a chance in 90 minutes. Mounsey failed, but Hirst proved a useful partnertoLordHawke, thepairscoring 57 in 35 minutes. Lord Hawke’sfine innings of 79 included a fine drive for 6, eleven 4’s, one 3, and 5 2’s. On his dismissal, Hirst hit out finely and in his 64 made in an hour and a quarter were a six,* and nine 4’s. In the long innings of 363 Lilley did not give a single bye, and had a hand in the dismissal of half the side. Warwickshire began thftir second innings 165 to the bad, and before play ceased on Friday, Mr. Bainbridge andWalter Quaife had put on 39 without the loss of a wicket. Hirst’s first over yesterday secured the dis­ missal of the amateur, who was finely taken in the slips. Law and Walter Quaife im­ provedmatters considerably. They added 87 in an hour and-a-half, before the former, who had been missed when he had made 23, was caught and bowled. Walter Quaife, after a fine innings of 74, was badly run out, and then W, G. Quaife and Mr. Glover went in quick succession. Lilley and Santall made another stand, and, chiefly through the excellent batting of the former, the sixth wicket put on 57 runs in just over an hour. Santall stayed nearly an hour for his 23, and as Mr. Hill,Pallett,andWhitehead allgavesomeassis- tance, the total was increasedto 271 before the innings closed. As it had been decided to draw stumps at six o’clock, Yorkshire had 107 to get in just under an hour and ten minutes. Brown, who went in first, made the best of his time, and his 65 fairly won the match for his side. In just under the hour 105 were scored and Yorkshire ultimately W arw ickshire . First Innings.
